Re: respironics a-flex needs repair
If it was me, I would start by making sure Auto-off is turned off and see what happens.
If it still continues, I would buy a new power supply brick from cpap.com and see if that solves the problem.
The first possible solution is free, the second one is cheap.

If you go up to and click on the "Advanced Search" option above and put in "Accurate" in the "Search for author" line and hit "Search", it will give you about two pages of posts. The user "Accurate" is a member of this forum and is a factory authorized Philips/Respironics repair shop with several locations around the US. Their website is "acbio(dot)com" (also linked in their posts).
I would suggest contacting them and asking questions about the nature of your machine problem.

Re: respironics a-flex needs repair
We need details. What machine do you have? Does it say Philips Respironics or just Respironics. Does it say "M Series" anywhere? See if you can find a picture of your unit at cpap.com and tell us what model it is.
What is blinking? The display, or just the light on the humidifier? Does it keep blowing? Does it give any kind of error message?

Ditto for Accurate BioMed if it comes down to that. I've had good results using their repair services.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.
